Just bought this to replaced my wife's Droid Maxx2, let me tell you why it's worth it. I don't believe in dropping a $1k for a phone, sorry no iPhone, Samsung Galaxy or Note, LG V40, Pixel 2. There's no secret the Z3 is a mid-range phone, priced at $540, but you really want to know why it's worth it? Verizon is currently selling it for $240, can you named one other smartphone that has all these specs for $240? It does what my wife needs, email and internet. We don't need eye scanner, face detection, 3 or 4 cameras, etc...because you will pay more for it. At the end of the day, why we picked the Z3 is because the battery life is similar to the Maxx2, it can last 3 days before a charge is needed, took less then an hour to fully charged, and the battery mode have her a full week before we searched for a power plug. At $240, nothing comes close.

I think the Android version will be outdated by the time the mod arrives, then you would just buy a new phone.

For the price it's good. For 2018 it's not as a flagship phone

I understand why everyone compares phones to the OnePlus for specs vs price, but as a Verizon customer it really ends up being a moot point on account of the compatibility. I do feel like I am missing out being on Verizon but not enough to jump to another carrier just for a OnePlus. Hopefully when Verizon goes all LTE in next couple of years this issue with compatibility won’t exist anymore.

3:26 isn't the shatterproof screen just for the force models?

Can be available here in the Philippines?

Smart business move. A Z "Force" phone would need to be developed and wouldn't likely be competitive against the Galaxies and Pixels. This phone works in the edge to edge display and new fingerprint sensor on last years running gear at a mid-range price. The 5G mod is to generate buzz and to test for flaws before a '19 Z comes out with 5 g baked in. They aren't really counting on it as a selling point for this phone.

Get a partner that looks at you the way Jessica looks at Juan. Lol
